Yikes, sounds rough! I’ve been pondering how so many things that are appealing about making music for and with people (as well as doing church) are off the table right now, and how discouraging that feels.
And this reminds me I’m going to text you about an outside coffee!

Zadie Smith’s On Beauty is pretty great, if you haven’t gotten to that one yet…

Gene Yang is a total rock star – love everything he does! And that new Superman book is really great. If you like him, we also own his latest book about basketball (which, even though I am not at all a sports person, was a good read too)

If you like him, we bought his latest graphic novel (Dragon Hoops, or something like that?) about basketball, which I liked a lot, despite having zero interest in sports.
(which is humorously, one of the themes – artsy types who thought they didn’t like sports)

Good morning Jupiter. I am an old friend of Greg’s and also knew Duncan slightly through my friendship with Greg. He and I both graduated from Carmen High in ’69. For some reason I was thinking of him this morning and wondering whatever happened to him, and my Google search lead me to this page. Do you happen to know if he has any online presence or how I might get in touch with him? Thanks for any help.

Barry,
I also graduated from Carmen in 1969. Greg is on Facebook. I seem to remember you were a musician in high school. Is that correct? Still doing music?

The shape of your second movement sounds very intriguing to me. Can’t wait to hear it! You know how I feel about Miles. 🙂

Let me know how you like the Chick Corea book…I think he is one of the sages of this time. I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts.

I was thinking about this recently too – why should liberals give up on the flag, just because we have stereotypes about the folks who often fly it? Then it just plays into the argument that there is a certain correct way to be patriotic, and questioning doesn’t fit into that.

Steve, did you get my last message? My last name was Staehli. I believe you’re pretty close to my brother Chris’ age. We lived directly across the street from Coolidge school. I’d love to read more stories about your dad. Your dad baptized me 😊

Denise,
I did respond to your previous message (see above). Thanks for reading and commenting. I’m not planning on updating stories about Dad soon. But this would be the place to look for them.
Best wishes,

the unpleasantness at the harpsichord shop
Interesting that you wrote this about “the snob” before getting your instrument back from him. Hope he didn’t read it and “fix” your instrument accordingly. 🙂

Ha! Good point! I’m happy to report that the repairman did a fine job on my old Zuckermann.

Gosh, these are great! I might post them on the Hope Church FB page, they are so fun.
My favorite is the Snow Lay on the Ground.
Gosh, I need to find some friends to play these now!
Thanks for sharing.
